Ease On Down The Road

Ease On Down The Road
Par: Charlie Smalls

Selon la légende, c’est Diana Ross qui aurait trouvé les Jackson 5, et ainsi permis à ce groupe amateur de signer sur le label Motown… Michael Jackson s’est très vite lié à Diana Ross, qu’il aime profondément, depuis son enfance. Il existe un duo entre ces deux stars sur la Bande Originale du film « The Wiz« , où ils tiennent chacun un rôle, Michael campant le rôle de l’épouvantail!

Les paroles :

Refrain
Come on and ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don’t you carry nothin’
That might be a load
Come on ease on down
Ease on down, down the road

Refrain
Come on ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don’t you carry nothin’
That might be a load
Come on ease on down
Ease on down, down the road

Pick your left foot up
When your right foot’s down
Come on legs, keep movin’
Don’t you lose no ground
You just keep on keepni’
On the road that you choose
Don’t you give up walkin’ ‘Cause you gave up shoes, no

Refrain
Ease on down
Ease on down the road
Mama, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don’t you carry nothin’
That might be a load
Come on ease on down
Ease on down, down the road

‘Cause there may be times
When you think you lost your mind
And the steps you’re takin’
Leave you three, four steps behind
But the road you’re walkin’
Might be long sometimes
You just keep on steppin’
And you’ll be just fine

Refrain
Ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don’t you carry nothin’
That might be a load
Come on ease on down
Ease on down the road

Well there may be times
When you wish you wasn’t born
And you wake one morning
Just to find your courage gone
But you know that feeling
Only lasts a little while
You just stick with us
And we’ll show you how to smile, yaeh

Get ’em up on down
Ease on down
Get ’em up on down
Ease on down
Get ’em up on down
Ease on down
Get ’em up, get ’em up
Ease on down the road
